So i got to use my plow on Saturday, went mostly well. I had a brief scare early on, the left pin holding the sleeve hitch on fell out, but luckily I noticed it right away. Couldn't find the it in the dirt, but an extra one for the receiver hitch on the truck and used that. The hitch pin clip fell out in the trailer on the way over, or I may have knocked it out while undoing the tie down straps. Other than that, every thing went smoothly. Got some quality seat time, and my friend seems quite happy with the results. Not the straightest furrows ever, but I'm OK with that on my first time out. One guy across the alley just sat on his back porch, drinking beer and watching me.

Thanks to everyone for the help, tips and advice, it made for a successful outing.
